TEN DOLLARS A HEAD.
In this month's number of the
Planters Monthly is an article which
discloses another peculiarity i l10
conduct of the Immigration business
of this country. It appears that the
last Portuguese immigrants who
arrived here cost 90 for each adult,
yet the planters had to pay 8100 as
heretofore. Our contemporary asks
" what has become of the other ten ?"
As the planters previously paid $100
per man, including all expenses for
landing and detention, how can it
now be claimed that it is necessary
to make an extra charge of 810 per
man for such purposes ? Has the
surplus been paid into the Treasury ?
If not, where is it ? The late mem
bers of the Board of Immigration,
by their reticence on these little
transactions, cause people to imagine
that thej' know something which they
are averse to making public. If they
arc iguorant of the why and where
fore of all these little charges it is
their duty to say so, then people will
know definitely who should be called
to account for the immigration
eccentricities. As Messrs. Iloffnung
& Co. and their agents Messrs. Mac
farlane & Co., did not receive the
extra ten dollars, the planters are
anxious to know who did receive it
aud will doubtless discuss this, with
other little matters, at their annual
meeting which is to be held this
month.
PORTUGUESE IMMIGRANTS.
The Planters Monthly says "The
sum of $1.10 is now being demanded
by the Portuguese Consul in Hono
lulu, although for what reason is not
made clear." This assertion is made
in connection with the article on the
ten dollar charge. If our contem
porary had taken the trouble to in
quire from the Portuguese Coni
misioncr the reason would have been
"made clear." The sum of $1.10
is a charge for the cretificate or
title of nationality, that every
Portuguese must have and produce
to the Consul when applying for re
lief at the Consulate, for sickness or
other causes, after his term of
service with the planter has expired.
This fee, is not a perquisite of the
Consul's, or any personal emolument
to him whatever, but a matter of
revenue for the Portuguese Govern
ment, and which we presume, serves
as a fund for the relief of indigent
on distressed Portuguese. Mr.
Canavaro called upon Col. Macfar
lane and explained the matter before
the arrival of the ''Hankow," aud
the latter gentlcrana fully approved of
the arrangement. This sum, though
advanced by the planter in the
first instance, is subsequently paid
by the laborer. The Portuguese
commissioner explains the charge to
the men at the time their contracts
are delivered to them.
"TRUTH"
Above the nom-de-phtme of
"Truth "we have received a letter
on the subject of Leprosy in which
serious charges and statements are
made, but as upon inquiry we find that
they arc incorrect we must therefore
decline publishing the letter in which
a few good points have been raised.
If our correspondent will apply for
information at head quarters, he will
ascertain that his assertions are
hardly sustained by the facts.
